city. Is 
from keeping bees in that way? 
Utica, N. Y. 
Bees have been kept on city roofs in 
hundreds of cases. Even in the heart of 
New York City we have known of some 
colonies to be kept in this way and al¬ 
lowed to forage in adjoining parks. How¬ 
ever, unless there were some such source 
of nectar within half a mile or so. the 
bees would probably not be able to obtain 
enough honey to support themselves. In 
the country bees will fly two or three 
miles, or even further, in search of good 
pasture, but in the heart of a city they 
do not fly near as far. Bees placed on a 
a roof are so far above the streets that 
one need not fear trouble from the bees 
stinging passersby. In very few instan¬ 
ces villages or cities have passed an or¬ 
dinance declaring the keeping of bees a 
nuisance, yet even in such a place col¬ 
onies of bees could be kept unless they did 
in fact prove themselves a nuisance.

from the 
February number of the “Western Elec¬ 
tric News” may amuse you. Here is an 
opportunity for some enterprising faker 
to manufacture and market a “white 
powder” that will grow fruit trees to 
maturity in two years. No doubt there 
are plenty of “suckers” who would bite 
at the bait, and the lemon crop would he 
a big one. Wood ashes combined with 
nitrate of soda, you will -observe, is all 
that is needed to provide an unlimited 
amount of strawberries for six months in 
the year, and with wood ashes to be had 
for the burning and nitrate of soda as 
“cheap as dirt” strawberries ought to 
become a drug on the market. There is 
a chance for some honest seedsman of 
a. well-known and familiar type to distri¬ 
bute the “odorless” onions and “seedless” 
watermelons to an eager public. Any 
man that can out-Burbank Burbank at 
his own game deserves to get away with 
it. How is it this latest fertilizer and 
plant wizard combined is yet unknown 
to fame—agriculturally? 
■T. F. R. HAWTHORNE. 
The clipping referred to reads as fol¬ 
lows : 
Our offering this month is a bunch of 
strawberries which we consider a pretty 
good feast at this season of the year. 
They were grown by E. T. Mariner of 
the credit department, known locally as 
Luther Burbank 2nd, and he claims that 
he can grow them about nine mouths in 
the year. Here are a few words which 
show how skilful au expert he is: 
“I have developed my berries in ordi¬ 
nary soil to the extent of producing the 
phenomenal crop of an average of about 
one quart every three days since May 1<> 
to November 9 on a space five feet wide 
by 14 feet long. The only fertilizer used 
was a small quantity of hardwood ashes 
which contain all the fertilizer necessary 
except nitrogen. I used a small quantity 
of nitrogen in the form of nitrate of soda 
which is as cheap as dirt. Thei; is no 
such thing as raising a maximum crop 
without furnishing the proper amount ot 
nitrogen in raising fruits or berries. 
“I have also produced seedless water¬ 
melons and odorless onions, and several 
years ago raised two lemons that matured 
within 24 months after the seed was 
planted.' One of these lemons was Iff Vi 
inches in circumference and weighed 22 
ounces and the other weighed 18 ounces. 
Very juicy and fine. This was accom¬ 
plished without the use of soil. I made 
a white powder preparation with all the 
elements necessary inserted at the time 
of planting. After that watering as 
needed was all that was done. The mix¬ 
ture wore out and when I transplanted 
the little tree, which stood about two 
feet high, in ordinary dirt, it died, ap¬ 
parently too aristocratic T live in com¬ 
mon soil.” 
“Burbank .Tr ’ is surely a whole plate 
of wonder (berries). I.et’s see about 
this crop. He says he grew one quart 
every three days for 177 days. That 
makes 59 quarts ou 70 square feet. 
“Burbank .Tr" ought to talk in terms of 
acres, for this means 36.098 quarts to the 
acre! Ho ought to tell the Government 
where to get nitrate of soda. They now 
charge $S1 per ton. And that “white pow¬ 
der.” “Burbank .Tr.” has our vote for
